How
Do I Keep My Dog From Wandering Outside?
When you let your puppy roam free outside
on the property, it is essential that you keep the little guy
enclosed in some form or fashion. And if you cannot fence the
dog inside, then at least leash your dog up. This will prevent
him from wandering off and getting hurt by an other animal
or a moving vehicle.
If you are in search of purchasing an enclosure such as a
dog pen or a tie out, here are a few research tips to help
you choose the appropriate security item which would suit your
dog and landscape best.
Start by asking your self the following 3 questions:
1. Based on how well you know your dog, what type of personality
does he have and how well does he handle being confined? Is
he the type of dog that will try to escape knowing that he
cannot get past a certain barrier mark?
2. When you have an enclosure put up outside, how do you plan
on using it when confining your dog? In other words, will you
be by your dog's side at all times when he is out or do you
plan on using the fenced in area or tie out as a way to keep
him secure when you're not at home?
3. Based on your dog's temperament, are you aware of what
type of confinement his personality will allow without creating
chaos for your pet? Using a secured lead may create anxiety.
A fenced in area that is too small may also be a negative experience
for your dog.
Can't I just train my dog to stay on the property without
a security fence or leash?
This is a big mistake. Initially when your young puppy is
new to the outside world and is just getting used to the fact
that he can play around the yard, letting him loose without
any security is a dangerous choice. Your dog may not understand
what his boundaries are and end up wandering off into danger
or being fatally injured from traffic.
Not only is safety an issue here, but the fact of the matter
is that it is virtually impossible to train a puppy to stay
on a certain area of land at such a young age, especially if
there are other houses, sidewalks, and streets nearby. Yes,
some breed types can be trained, but to successfully train
a dog to stay within certain confines of your property without
a fence or leash takes a specific type of dog temperament.
